We've photographed the 2009 Mercedes GLK - a new "compact" SUV to compete with BMW's X3 and the Audi Q5 - as it was being used on the set of the new movie "Sex in the City"!
Translated, the name GLK means basically "short version of GL" as K is a diminutive of the German "kurz," meaning short.
The GLK will share many components with the new C Class and power is expected to come from a 3.5-liter V6 with Mercedes 4Matic all-wheel-drive as a standard feature on this small ute.
In addition, all versions are expected to have the 7G-Tronic TouchShift automatic transmission. Later on there could be a V8-powered GLK63 AMG version.
